Can you freeze tofu?

What freezing does to tofu

The texture of frozen tofu is different from fresh, and people are divided on whether they like it. Frozen tofu takes on a meaty texture, which makes it good for crumbling in place of ground meat.

How to freeze it

1. Use water-packed tofu and freeze it in its original container.
2. Give it a try with one block of tofu before you freeze a large quantity.

Thawing and using it

Thaw the package for 24 hours in the refrigerator, or run it under hot running water just before opening and cooking.

Depends on the form

• Frozen tofu has a meaty texture; crumble it to replace ground meat in recipes such as pasta with marinara sauce, pizza, and chili.
